In
Harlem
(
New York City
)
W. 137th
,
W. 138th
and
W. 139th
streets are knows a
Striver's Row
. During the
Harlem Renaissance
,
upwardly mobile
and
artistically inclined
Blacks
moved here and established a
neighbourhood
that was to exemplify the ideas of the
New Harlem
and the
New Negro
. For many years Striver's Row remained a prestigious place to live , it suffered from the
blight
and
urban decay
of the 70s and early 80s, but in recent years has managed to gain some of its
old glory
.
In fact, Striver's Row has become so popular that some
White people
have decided to move up here. Many of the
old timers
from the neighbourhood are
suspicious
of this, fearing
gentrification
and the inevitable
Starbucks
, but hopefully
integration
in Harlem is just a sign that all us
Americans
are finally staring to
grow up
a little.
However, to this day
Harlem
remains 98%
Black
.
